I'll probably never win an Oscar, but I'll sure have a lot of fun! I really believe that movies are the great escape.

I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends' lives.

People have forgotten how to tell a story.

I've been told that I'm a very different person on the set than I am in postproduction when the movie's over and I'm editing, in that I get so wound up in the film that I become selfless to the point where I lose too much weight.

Because of how much movies cost, it's dangerous to be experimental on one film after the other. But we can experiment with television. We can do things that are fringe and bring ideas to the table that are offbeat and original.

I compose the frame literally with the camera. Unless it makes a story point.

I would lose myself too much if I thought of myself as the audience.
